- A (dead) Commodore PET that I just obtained had a "Rabbit" ROM in it.
- Transplanted to a working PET, it seems to work -- SYS36864 starts it --
- and hook itself into the IRQ vector. But what does it DO? There's no
- command token table to be seen, and the few ASCII strings that it contains
- refer to cassette I/O.
-
- I now have three different PET option ROMs...
- (1) Power
- (2) Supergraphics
- (3) Rabbit
- as well as a "Microtech Spacemaker II" ROM selector. Alas still only a
- 16K pet so some of the old games I have don't fit, and still no access
- to an 8050 drive to retrieve most of my old PET data... sigh.
